One of the thing I wanted was to manage my audio system.</p> <p>Over the years I have tried multiple things, including using a raspberry pi with a <a href="https://github.com/endemics/pimba">recreated Pi Music Box implementation based on docker</a>. I eventually settled for using said raspberry pi as a headless Spotify player connected to my Hifi. This meant that my only source of audio was Spotify, which to be fair kind of worked but limited my choices. I also had a DVD-CD player connected to my amplifier and my whole collection of CD ripped in FLAC format, but I rarely used the first option and didn&rsquo;t have the second one accessible to be played.</p>
